THURSDAY, MARCH 27
Rumsfeld’s favorite human, Corinna had a little girl last week. She is the 1st grand-daughter and 1st girl in the family in 27 years. I think that tells you the state of Grandmother’s emotional stability and baby hogging. From what I hear Corinna gets to see her when she is nursing and that’s about it. Babies should go to families where they are drenched in love. This little one will be getting just that.
I played care package person today. Walgreen’s had their huge stuffed Easter bunnies at 75% off. It’s a huge stuffed animal. Sydney, age ... more »

The Lioness Sleeps This Evening (so far)

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 26
Evidently the trauma is over. Everyone, and I do mean everyone is exhausted. The four-legged members of this establishment are all sleeping. I’m still working. I have an interesting video clip for tomorrow morning on Lindsey and the SC VP choices.
It has been a long, windy day. I did Altar Guild this evening. I’m glad I did. Fr. Penn had a wonderful homely about Christ appearing to the Disciples a few days after His Resurrection. I think I may have learned something about faith this evening – we don’t have much, that’s for sure.

SAD NEWS
Earlier today Raymond discovered the tiny bodies of 4 kittens. Evidently at least 2 of them were stillborn. The other 2 died not long after their birth. I thought we probably had 2kittens, but there were 4. At least one was born on my bedroom floor and the others in the closet - on the new white carpet. After several days of emotional distress, everyone seems to have finally settled down, exhausted.
Mommy Cat and Rumsfeld were still fighting early this morning, but now seem to have made peace with one another. She is finally sleeping, no longer ... more »

The Great Cat-ostrophy Continues

TUESDAY, MARCH 25
I am exhausted. Last night after posting, I realized that Mommy Cat has gone into heat. It was weird. The arguments with Rumsfeld continued. Her attentions to Miss Beverly Sills continued. I think it was around 1AM or so that I finally went down to my bedroom. My nice white carpet resembled the floor of a slaughter-house. Blood was everywhere! I did not look in the closet. Just the sight of the blood made me feel queasy.
Mommy Cat keeps looking inside the closet, then stepping out, obviously not nursing. There are no kitten sounds. What ... more »

MONDAY, MARCH 24
I have no idea what is going on with Mommy Cat. Every time Rumsfeld goes near Beverly Sills, Mommy Cat attacks him, viciously. The poor little thing is whipped. We also don’t know what is going on with the baby situation. She has slimmed down considerably since this morning. About 9PM she came up for water and to nibble. That would indicate she has finished having what ever it is she had. She, Little Joe Cartwright and Miss Beverly Sills keep running up and down the steps like that baby scene in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers... more »

THE GREAT CAT SOAP OPERA
I
had a feeling Mommy Cat was due any minute now Saturday night when she
started snooping around for a place to 'hatch'. I did not want her in
my closet, but finally this AM when she acted like she wanted to have
the babies on my bed I gave up and opened the door for her.
She
has been acting strange, and I mean strange, all day. She started
around noon, just holding onto Miss Beverly Sills, not letting her out
of her sight. We went up-stairs. Mommy Cat followed Bubbles to the
living ... more »

SATURDAY, MARCH 22
I had to be at church at 10AM for Altar Guild. Finally made it home about 2PM. It wasn’t bad. I was assigned the duty of assisting Terry polish the woodwork around the Altar. I did okay for awhile. It was the first time I’ve really done any arm movement like that since I broke the elbow two years ago. After arriving home I piddled around all afternoon. Last night, very late, I installed Leopard. It screwed up a few things, but not much at all. I had to restore my Webshots screen saver and rework my ... more »

TUESDAY, MARCH 18
Once again the family kept me awake until early hours of the morning – try 4AM! This time I finally managed to separate Rumsfeld and Miss Beverly Sills. I put one on one side and one on the other, and held onto both of them. After awhile they quieted down and went to sleep – or else I did. Oh, Mommy Cat is VERY pregnant.
Yet another cool dinosaur discovery!

Bad Kitten Tails – The 4:30AM Attack

MONDAY, MARCH 17
You read it right, the 5:30AM attack. It continued until approximately 4:55 when I finally managed to catch the little stinker and lock her out of the bedroom. She continued to body slam the door and keep Rumsfeld awake until about 5:10 or so. I think I am the one who fell asleep.
I was asleep when something ran across my head. It was followed by an even larger something who pounced on top of said head. There was a meow and a yap. Variations of this continued for the next twenty minutes or so. After the ... more »

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 12
I’ve had an interesting day. I was planning some very good commentary on politics and blogs, but was detoured by a new tenor and cat killers. I don’t like cat killers. The parents took off for Memphis today – after we had to threaten to hook that blasted Cadillac up to a team of oxen to pull them across the country like they did in the Wild West. There is a lose wire that causes the blasted thing to uncharged the battery. My mother swears if it keeps up she’s getting a new one. My father and ... more »
Cat Killing Town of Randolph, Iowa

HOW TO MURDER A PET
From ML of the Catblogsphere comes a horrible story that makes one think of China and the great Olympic cat round-up for killing in the death camps. (Miss Blue Eyes) Evidently the "good" people of Randolph, Iowa don't know much about cats. Currently, of the 5 cats who allow me to reside with them, only on is wearing a collar. She is the first cat I've ever had who wears a collar.
I know how hard so many of us work to take care of "our" feral cats. You've probably read about the ... more »

MONDAY, MARCH 10
The day started well, then went downhill. Once again the battery on that blasted Cadillac was dead. We had to be in Las Cruces before 4PM for my mother’s PK test. It is a good 4.5 hour drive from Tombstone. I made it with 30 minutes to spare. Rachel from the kennel brought Rumsfeld home for me. Maggie and Raymond picked up Miss Beverly Sills from the vet, where she was facing eminent eviction for behavior unbecoming to a kitten of her age and status. Evidently she was tussling and fighting with anything that moved. Over the ... more »

Watching the Media Ignore John Glenn

TUESDAY, MARCH 4
I wish I believed in live blogging. If so I would be irate. I am the most loyal Republican in the world, BUT when John Glenn, American Hero, comes on, these stupid blank blank (deleted due to Lent) morons in the media need to shut up and snap to attention. That’s Glenn! Have they already forgotten who he is? He is John Glenn Hero Astronaut. You stop everything you are doing and treat him the way you would have treated Ted Williams. There aren’t many people in that league, but John Glenn and Ted Williams are there ... more »
